Brunch Week is the best week ever! I could eat brunch any time of day and your bananas foster french toast looks incredible. I often saute bananas in butter and brown sugar to top my french toast so I'm already a huge fan of this dish. I'm definitely going to look for the roasted saigon cinnamon next time I cross the border.
